Locals encouraged to enrol in Swim School at their local swimming pool and win a holiday.

Swim School at your local pool, managed by registered charity Fusion Lifestyle in partnership with Croydon Council, has begun enrolling students for the new term beginning in January.

Whether it is for yourself or your child, the council’s five pools – at South Norwood, Thornton Heath, Purley, New Addington and Waddon – offer a great-value comprehensive learn-to-swim programme, which is run in line with the Amateur Swimming Association’s (ASA) accredited national plan for teaching swimming.

Swim School welcomes complete beginners and those keen to develop their swimming skills. Students are continually assessed and can work towards ASA certifications in recognition of their progress, whilst fully qualified instructors take the fear factor out of learning for first-time swimmers.

What’s more, all those enrolling onto a Swim School course by December 31st, will be entered into a prize draw to win a family holiday worth up to £400 at one of Park Resort’s 39 superb holiday parks in the UK, plus great runner-up prizes!

Denise Charles, swimming coordinator at Thornton Heath Leisure Centre, comments: “Our ASA-recognised Swim School makes learning to swim easy and enjoyable. It’s suitable for all ages and abilities, so it’s never too late to start!”

Rob Brown , sport and physical activity manager at Croydon Council, says: “Swimming isn’t just a fun and effective form of exercise, it’s also an important life skill that we encourage everyone, no matter what their age, to learn.”
